Very tranquil open air museum with small hamlets of historically accurate reconstructions of old Flemish farmhouses and country living.

Used to be (2007 approx.) Much nicer. Of course there is more to do in the weekends than if you come during the week.

I visited this domain regularly last year 2019 and the years before. Of course it costs a lot of money to maintain this Provincial Domain Bokrijk of 550 hectares large domain, but to ask for 5 euros parking fee for this this year, while it was 3 euros last year, is still too much! Previously often drove there just to drink a cup of coffee, but then the coffee is paid dearly!

Even with the restrictions one of my favorite places in Belgium. I've been coming here since I was a kid. The combination of nature, the open-air museum and the great playground means that today I come with my granddaughter. So the fourth generation.

Known for years, this area is somewhat the equivalent of Zaanse kans in Holland.
An open-air museum, in the heart of a wooded area and meadows, including old houses with thatched roofs. They were transported to the estate. From different places in Belgium. There are also 2 beautiful mills, workshops showing different trades, a barn, a small stone church. The interiors of the houses are furnished as in the 18th and 19th century.
In this period, one cannot visit the interiors, except in the Breughel course, very well carried out. A complaint: the written explanations are given in Dutch and English only. French being one of the national languages, we should find it even qd. I speak all 3 languages, but this is not the case for all of our fellow citizens.

I used to come here with my parents, had a holiday job as a youth, and now that I am a mom, I enjoy this wonderful place with my children, enjoy a nice playground, have a drink in the coach house, walk in the woods or open-air museum, you can also rent bicycles. Just heavenly place here you will certainly get the Limburg feeling

10/10 Absolutely loved our visit. The open-air museum provides you with a perfect mix of a stroll in the woods, learn about Belgian history in the different parts of the country and hands-on fun dyeing, kneading or hammering something together.
I would definitely suggest showing up early enough because this place would easily fill up two days if you wanted to.

Not interesting in Corona time: most buildings are closed, no demonstrations data, information panels are closed, no brochures with explanations available. Save yourself the entrance fee and take a nice walk in the area.

A very relaxing place with many things to learn on the life in a Belgian village 100 years ago, on the 60's in Belgium and on the old jobs and traditional games. A big park. Joy for kids and parents. Farm animals and old beautiful trees. Only negative points: expensive bars and restaurants, the customer service is not good.

I, my wife and my parents had a great time here. Unfortunately some things were closed due to COVID-19 but overall it's a beautiful place to visit even when there are less activities such as role play. Luckily the restaurant was open so we were able to have a simple yet lovely lunch in the warm September sun.

The open air museum had been made corona proof, a number of 'houses' had been closed. The 'crystal' quest, was very cool, for young and old! Great respect for the Bokrijk team. They patiently and kindly assisted all people when they had questions or sought directions.

Really a nice park, only the distances between the sights is too large. It is almost impossible to walk with children. The Bruegel theme and the associated high-tech searches are fun but should not have been necessary. The food trucks (I think part of a festival) was very nice and fun. The layout of the sights could have been a bit more for me. It didn't really live for me. The playground outside the park is huge and certainly fun for the children, keep in mind their remaining energy when you visit that playground in advance :)

With the price of 12.50 p.p plus 5 euro for parking is totally not worth it. 40 euro for 2 pax to see nothing, no way. Better fo by the lake. Paying just the parking and have amazing nature for a day for free.

A pretty nostalgic place for anyone who's interested in the older ways of crafting and the games played during the previous century. Lovely to walk around and bask in the presence of nature. Sadly due to Covid, not everything was open as it should've been, but that's to no fault of the people who work there.

About Domein Bokrijk vzw
Domein Bokrijk vzw: A Journey Through Time and Nature
Domein Bokrijk vzw is a non-profit organization that aims to preserve and promote the cultural heritage of Flanders, Belgium. The organization manages a vast estate that includes an open-air museum, a nature reserve, and various recreational facilities. With its diverse offerings, Domein Bokrijk vzw attracts visitors of all ages and interests.
The Openluchtmuseum (Open-Air Museum)
One of the main attractions of Domein Bokrijk vzw is the Openluchtmuseum or open-air museum. This unique museum showcases the daily life and customs of rural Flanders from the 17th to the 20th century. Visitors can explore over 120 authentic buildings such as farmhouses, mills, churches, schools, and shops that have been relocated from different parts of Flanders to create a realistic village setting.
As visitors stroll through the cobblestone streets lined with old-fashioned shops and houses, they can witness demonstrations by skilled craftsmen such as blacksmiths, weavers, potters or bakers who showcase traditional techniques used in their respective trades. The museum also offers interactive exhibits where visitors can try their hand at activities like butter churning or rope making.
The Openluchtmuseum provides an immersive experience that transports visitors back in time to learn about Flemish history in an engaging way. It's not just for history buffs but also for families looking for an educational day out.
The Arboretum
Another gem within Domein Bokrijk vzw is its Arboretum which spans over 100 hectares showcasing more than 14 thousand species of trees and plants from around the world. The Arboretum was established in 1956 with a mission to conserve rare species while educating people about botany.
Visitors can take guided tours or explore on their own along well-marked trails through different habitats such as coniferous forests or wetlands where they can observe flora ranging from towering sequoias to delicate orchids up close.
In addition to being a beautiful place for nature lovers to visit throughout all seasons; spring brings blooming flowers while autumn brings vibrant foliage colors; it's also an important research center where scientists study plant ecology and conservation biology.
De Grootste Openluchtspeeltuin van Vlaanderen (The Largest Outdoor Playground in Flanders)
